Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Iroh]

I remember Chelsea playing really well at the beginning of the season before they started to struggle despite having all the players they needed to succeed; so, I'm still wondering if Potter is the issue with Chelsea. It's been a very competitive season, and with Chelsea only having 39 points them drawing three games while losing one and winning one, I'm rooting for Arsenal to win the trophy this season.

Chelsea had a really good start playing well at the early stages of the season. It’s a wonder on how they started gradually declining down the league table despite having some players that are really good and capable of scoring goals. In my opinion, It now falls down to the tactics used during gameplay and that is where the coach comes in. I wouldn’t exactly put much blame on Potter cause he can be considered to be fairly new on the job and would perhaps need some more time. But it’s a a competitive season and the cries of the fans must be met.

Chelsea is like a catfish on the pitch it always tried but has not succeeded any of it struggles, it was only the first time that the club came out. Really at the early part of the tournament everyone was praising Chelsea of their super work but things have turned around. I believe the problem in Chelsea team is not from the players because Chelsea has enough of the good players to win games. Then the problem is the coach and the management.

Some problems came at the start of the season for them which necessitated a lot of changes happening for them.
Now there is no use for them to reminisce about the start of the season because they have to get up now. This condition is not too good for those who in fact spend a lot of money to bring in new coaches and players. The rest of the game is still there but this doesn't put Potter in a position to sit comfortably in these conditions.

Now is definitely not the time to reminisce about the good ole days when the season was just beginning and Chelsea was on fire and winning games. I’ve met a lot of Chelsea fans who always talk about the beginning of the season when the club performed well. I feel they’re trying to console and inspire themselves that they can bounce back from their losses. A comeback is always possible but I don’t see Chelsea making any comeback this season. They should just focus on how they would perform better come next season.

Manchester United had the same experience when Erik Teng came on board newly, things weren't rosy for the red Devils and couldn't make it to the top 4. However, they did made it to the Europa League where they are beating and battling with Barcelona who made it from their end but lost in the group stage. The difference between Chelsea Situation and that of Manchester United is similar but different in the sense that Chelsea is actually having a bad season and the more they played, they don't make improvements, they are sinking ship is no longer funny to discuss, they could come back next season but they can't continue in this manner sitting at the half way in the table.

Chelsea also invested an amount that no other club in the Premier League even comes close to.

Now what about Potter? If he gets dismissed I think that Jurgen Klopp might be available very soon guys! This is now a very sad situation for Liverpool as I don't know what they think they are still competing for. They can only try to make a miracle happen and start to win games nonstop. I doubt that there is a little chance to turn it around against Real Madrid. There are now four Premier League games to be played before the second round of the Champions League takes place. Among the opponents is Manchester United. If for some weird reason Liverpool can win all four games, perhaps they can motivate themselves and give their best to make it to the top four. They still have two games in reserve, which would bring them close to the top four, but now it is all about how they are going to recover mentally from this setback

[Freeveto]

West ham stands a chance of not being relegated from the premier league this season, I see Bournemouth climbing down in the next couple of weeks and i think Southampton won’t make it to the premier league next season, they will go and try in Championship.

They do need to recover mentally and emotionally also if they plan on getting back to their winning ways and prepare in time for their second leg against Real Madrid. Before that, they do need to win their four games in the premier league leading to the second leg in the champions league.
I think it’s still to early to think of letting Klopp go and I would be disappointed if they do let him go. Although, I doubt my disappointment would matter or make any difference. Hehe. They do need to win games to get their mojo back.

Soton can still make it. There are around 14 matches remaining, soton is still having a chance to come back at the end of season by securing more points to leave the relegation zone. I think that any clubs are still having the same chance to leave the relegation zone even though everton was also able to go back again to the relegation zone. There will be so many matches to come. That's gonna be the hardest situation for soton.

The gap between clubs in the relegation zone and almost in the relegationz zone is not so big. 6 points are even enough to make soton climbing up.

[BlackBoss_]

maybe for some people the results of Liverpool's match against Newcastle have been surprising.

It helped Liverpool to reduce the gap with Newcastle United. With one more match and with Liverpool defeat hours ago at Anfield against Real Madrid in Champions League, Liverpool will have only one task in the season. They will fight seriously in Premier League and it is not good news for Tottenham and Newcastle United.

because Newcastle has not received many defeats this season. even strong teams like Arsenal, Manchester city and Manchester United have not been able to beat Newcastle this season. and what we need to realize is that Newcastle has only lost 2 times in total this season. and what is surprising is that Newcastle suffered those 2 defeats by the same team, namely by Liverpool.

The story has two sides. One is Newcastle United have very good form in this season even results against biggest and best clubs in Premier League. The second side is Liverpool are good enough to beat best teams but only in a good day of their attacking and defense. In this season, many times they only have good attacking or good defense in a same match. Usually they have both bad attacking and defense in a same match and they must improve to find a similar rhythm of their attacking and defense systems.

[blue Snow]

Potter may still not be able to turn things around this season. If chelsea assigns a new coach, they may still not  
Have a good result. Even if they may have,  it will not be long they will still go back on poor form.
The only problem I'm having is that chelsea already has all it needs to get a good result but potter doesn't border about losing a match, from his choices of words,  he is not serious to win,  and that's unhealthy to the team.

I don't know why management didn't fired him?. We know Chelsea have 27x match but only have 9 wins and 7 draw during Potter was a coach. He should not be defended when we look how Chelsea management on the past, Chelsea have habbit to treats the team to be better by pressing the squad including the coach. Maybe since change the owner they be soften, but this situation is very affects with team performance.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Manchester City is a really great team. It would not be fair to match their game with any other team. They play very good football and the coach of their team is a very competent person. Under whose leadership, Manchester City is moving forward.

We're not saying Manchester City is a bad team they are one of the best teams in the Premier League at least in the last 3 years
But there is a team that is better than them, yes that is Arsenal who still consistently dominate the standings until today.

How do you feel after saying this? Feeling ecstatic after conquering the Premier League for a season after five years. Don't try to compare Arsenal to a team that has won three EPL titles during that time, Arsenal doesn't even come close to where Manchester City is because despite consistently finishing in the Europa League, the Gunners have never taken home a Europa Cup. I still believe Manchester City would like to follow Arsenal until the end of the season because it is not over until it is over.

In current situation both teams are doing good and I have feeling comparison is never been ideal because Manchester City is having big investments, and they are consistently doing good job for last few years with Arsenal is now coming out of long bad run under leadership of Arteta which is also good and have enough ability to handle this team for long run with the same level because both coaches are having same pattern, but both situation is not same one is working under limited budget and second is having luxury of investment which is also big difference but still in coming years we will have better view about them who is going to stay with the same level and how things works for them in long run in current season both have equal chance for win of the title.

Well, we can all think of something, both Man City and Arsenal are teams that are at a very high level, I admire both technical directors because they have a lot of technique in how to direct their players, of course, since everything has mistakes, no team plays perfect , at some point they have to draw, they have to lose, that's something common, and it's normal, however we can draw the conclusion that these two teams are also doing very well, but we cannot forget the work that Man United has done , and that is a sleeping lion, I would be very careful when considering that team, although I have never agreed that Ten Hag is there, I cannot deny that they are doing well.


Man City transfer news: Etihad star could walk for free amid Arsenal links

Manchester City could be willing to let club captain Ilkay Gundogan leave for free in the summer with the Premier League champions unwilling to hand the midfielder a two-year contract, with Arsenal interested.

According to the Mirror, the Manchester giants are not sold on awarding the German international a new contract that is longer than two years, with the £140,000-a-week maestro’s current deal set to expire at the end of this season amid growing transfer interest.

There have been rumors developing about several linked managers who will replace Potter at Chelsea but that's still a rumour, maybe the owner has other targets that make him keep Potter but all the time he has been at Chelsea is enough to prove that he is not strong enough to stay at Chelsea because of his achievements so far quite disappointing

[Slow death]

I believe the problem in Chelsea team is not from the players because Chelsea has enough of the good players to win games. Then the problem is the coach and the management.

i also agree with you, in recent years chelsea has not made good choices when it comes to choosing coaches, every new coach chelsea chooses starts signing players that in my opinion do not bring good results, in this case Graham Potter was signing many players and I read somewhere that they want neymar, it means that they still want to spend more money bringing neymar, but they already have a lot of players and they are not having good results, I don't know how until now they don't realize that the problem is in the coach , chelsea is looking like barcelona before xavi arrived

I don't know why management didn't fired him?

The impression I have is that Chelsea's management is already resigned to the fact that this season they are not going to win anything, so they are making signings for next season, as they made many signings they will have to make a lot of changes and tests in the team , which means that in each of their games it will be an experiment for the coach to make adjustments and everything thinking about the next season, it's a big risk, but as long as they don't get relegated it's ok, but if next season he doesn't bring good results then he will be fired

Arsenal took a deep breath by getting a very important win against Aston Villa. It was important because this helped them take the lead from Manchester City once again. Next time they are playing a match away against Leicester. I believe this is actually a more comfortable match than the one against Aston Villa on paper. But things don't always happen according to paper of course. The embarrassing loss by Tottenham against Leicester away is a good example for that.

However I don't think they can do the same or even get a point from Arsenal. Arsenal players must have improved their morale at a high rate now. They should fully focus on not losing the lead by making simple point losses from now on.

in my opinion arsenal will have a much more difficult game than the game they had against aston villa, leicester is a very dangerous team, they score a lot of goals, and arsenal's defense has not been good lately, I predict that they will stop or Arsenal will get a victory but with a lot of effort

[X-ray]

I believe the problem in Chelsea team is not from the players because Chelsea has enough of the good players to win games. Then the problem is the coach and the management.

Me too. The problem is chelsea is not even thinking to sack him which has become the worst thing for the club. I meant look at this.

Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali are not yet convinced he is the problem, and instead have a list of reasons why they shouldn't sack him. Injuries behind the scenes are one reason, as is his poker face in the public eye; Potter is described as being 'intense' around the Cobham training ground and the owners have no fears over his mentality, but are instead happy they have a coach who will not throw players under the bus in front of the media.

Point three claims the owners recognise that Potter took a risk in joining the club from Brighton mid-season, something they believe not many top coaches and managers are always willing to do. They also understand he left a very safe environment at Brighton and put his reputation on the line in doing so, and believe he needs a considerable amount of time to work with new players and develop a relationship with sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart in order to create sustainable success, similar to Pep Guardiola and Txiki Begiristain at Manchester City.

It's very clear if the problem was in tuchel. The coach was responsible to build chemistry and relationship between players in the club. That means chelsea's owner is not even having experience in football management. Let's see what step will be taken by todd once chelsea goes to the relegation zone.

[Swordsoffreedom]

The only option really has to replace Potter, I know he still wants to prove to the fans but if it continues with bad results then this is not a good choice to keep a coach who really doesn't match the capacity Chelsea wants. Actually, there is no reason for Chelsea to be in a bad zone because they have quality players. Only one thing was out of sync, namely Potter was not able to develop the skills of the players. So that it looks monotonous, with not much aggression in the midst of intense competition.

I know Chelsea fans really hope Potter gets sacked, but don't they think Potter is just starting his first season at Chelsea?
Potter has struggled to find form from his players but he is expected to turn it around for the better in the remainder of the season. I actually asked why he wasn't fired immediately, but in the end there is a lot to consider before making decision. But I think the situation at Chelsea is like a ticking time bomb that is about to explode.

If Chelsea do not make internal changes to their squad, adding talented star players to the squad, their performance will not improve. If Chelsea management wants to do well in both the Premier League and Champions League, they will definitely need to add star players to their squad. A better performance is not possible only by changing the coach. Tuchel was quite an experienced coach. He is still being fired. Now Potter is unable to stabilize the team. Potter will likely be fired next season as well.

To be honest, a case like this is not a new case for Chelsea, because normally Chelsea would easily fire their own coach. Therefore, if Potter really can't make changes for the better, then surely the time will come to fire Potter either in the near future or in the next season.
But I personally can't seem to blame Potter entirely for Chelsea's performance dropping like this because basically, when Chelsea started the season with Tuchel and in fact Chelsea's performance had indeed dropped at that time. So yes, maybe Potter came at the wrong time, so it might still take more time for Potter to be able to return Chelsea to their best performance.

This sort of thing is not new for Chelsea, that's for sure. They have done so in the past. They blame the coach entirely for the poor performance of the team and sack him. Tuchel was sacked after Chelsea's poor performance in a few matches. I can't find any valid reason to sack Tuchel.

Perhaps the Chelsea management will sack Potter earlier in the season. But this cannot be a solution. A new coach needs time to adjust to the team players. At the same time, you need players according to your choice. We can look at the Manchester United team for example. United Management gave Ten Hag ample time and funds. It's as if Ten Hag has put his favourite players on the squad. And now the United team is strong enough.

[LittleBitFunny]

Tottenham have been impressive although not consistent but I give them some credit for struggling to win games especially in this rough times when the head coach Antonio Conte is absent due to illness. The way the team managed to face games and still give their all is amazing. The fact that Tottenham are now in top four position is remarkable.

The main problem is that Tottenham's performance has been erratic. They beat strong teams like Manchester City. And in the very next match, they lost 4-1 against Leicester. Playing like this makes it very difficult to stay in the top four of the table. They are going to face Chelsea in the next match. The Chelsea team is relatively weak. If Tottenham manage to put in some consistent performances they will win. However, Tottenham's attack needs to play well in this match. I expect a good performance from Harry Kane.

I think, the change of the owner of Chelsea is were the challenges is coming from in this season because when the formal Chelsea president was still controlling Chelsea, I don't think he will allow this current coach to spend long time with the team before he will replace him with a talented coach. Chelsea performance in this tournament is very low which the management need to do something so that they can make their fans happy and to have hope that they can still recover from their losses in their remaining matches. I believe, Chelsea president will act fast to solve this problem so that he will not regret for the money he spend to be the owner of Chelsea.

West ham stands a chance of not being relegated from the premier league this season, I see Bournemouth climbing down in the next couple of weeks and i think Southampton won’t make it to the premier league next season, they will go and try in Championship.

All of the teams that placed at the bottom are so hard to predict. These clubs like everton, southampton, westham, etc have small gaps of points. Those clubs are still competing one to the each other until the end of season. It's very hard to believe if southampton will not make it but you shall wait until the end of season. It's caused by southampton may give you a surprise like when it was against chelsea. There will be so many things to happen until the end of season.

Everton was in the relegation before but it was climbing slowly. Southampton can also do the same thing like already done by everton. I  think that leeds is having biggest chance to be relegated into the championship. Leeds is still consistent with its bad achievements in EPL.

is still very much hard to predict the relegation zone team now, because all the team in the zone are one point ahead of each other, from Everton that's 16 to Southampton that's in 20. They all have the chances to fight to remain in the league, premier is too competitive to know predict the outcome of the league title winner and the relegation team, we just have to wait till the end of the season.
